“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

The US military buildup in the Caribbean is aimed at ousting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, but also at cutting off the flow of Venezuelan oil to Cuba in order to fulfill the Republican right’s decades-long dream of collapsing the Cuban government. foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/03/m...

This is just a staggering number - truly incomprehensible.

Hundreds of thousands of children dead because a fucking Afrikaner dismantled USAID.

Postmambo was in the Sahara. These, my friend, are camel tracks.
A matrix of camel tracks in the fine Sahara sand seen in the first golden light of morning.

RIP, Joe Byrd, mastermind behind two mind-bending classics: The United States Of America (1968) + Joe Byrd And The Field Hippies' The American Metaphysical Circus (1969). Get 'em both in all formats. He was true one-off, loved by Broadcast, Portishead, & many others.

"In some of his greatest songs, the Godfather of Punk explored LGBTQ+ lives. But the story of his trans partner Rachel Humphreys remains an unsung part of rock history."

Postmambo is in Essaouira, with the group Ahwach Haha, Amazigh musicians who have come in 70 kilometers from their village for the occasion. Instrumentation is 3 flutes, three frame drums, and a gang of footstomps and handclaps. No singing, just stomping. Photo: Steve Coats.

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

Between banning books, non-white people, genders, immigrants, comedians, journalism…

And then pushing AI which just regurgitates new ideas…

America is headed into a deep cultural recession. This place is bleak and getting increasingly boring.

"Banda and corridos permeate daily life in Northern Mexico, so rather than reject or avoid that legacy, many of these artists fold loving nods into their own musical adventures."

Postmambo is in Marrakech, listening to Sakhi Abdelghani, oud, and Youssef Tamsamani, darbouka, playing Abdelhalim Hafiz’s song “Qariat Al Fingan (reader of cups),” as in reading fortunes from cups. At the Paella House restaurant, where it is early and the crowd hasn’t arrived.

Postmambo is in Ouarzazate. This is the tazerzit, the fibula that is an identity symbol of the Imazighen (who reject the imposed name of Berbers), surrounded by elements of their ancient alphabet, called Tifinaght, in their language Tamazight.
A mural depicting a jeweled fibula (a brooch that holds toga-like clothes together) with a triangular top and a pin pointing down inside a circular catch, surrounded by floating elements in red of the alphabet called Tifinaght against a multicolored background in which yellow dominates.
